27、然。固选therefore.42. 【解析】B多次失败往往会使人形成一种错误的认识，更加认为自己在某方面真的无能。在此之前他已经形成此观点，故A不选43. 【解析】 A 由最后一段from his own experience可知，答案为A。44. 【解析】C 从a small boy 可知，这是回忆刚开始学数学时候的事情。故选C。45. 【解析】B 依据第49题后的as they expected可知，B项正确。老师认为他在数学上无什么天赋体现出老师对他在数学方面的期望值不高，告诉家长不要指望其儿子在数学方面有什么成就。46. 【解析】A在听了老师的看法之后，家长也就自然对儿子形成了一种新的
